Now if you think about the 20th century and the idea of visual vocabulary the album occupies a really important space in the cultural landscape and, above all.

With multimedia, everything blurs. Software takes the concept of the imagination and makes it something you can edit, tweak, and transform with digital techniques. Everything becomes an edited file.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.

I like the idea of it as a trickster motif. You know like you're kind of just messing around with people's memories of songs.

If you don't understand the past, the future won't make much sense either.

My work is all about creating new paths for thinking about the possibilities inherent in all art; another world is possible!

I think that the audience intuitively understands the idea of sampling and remixing stories. That's why electronic music is global.

The world is a very, very, very big record. We just have to learn how to play it.

We live in a world so utterly infused with digitality that it makes even the slightest action ripple across the collection of data bases we call the web.

In fact, if you look at the root word of phonograph it just means phonetics of graphology, phono-graph, writing with sound, so graphology. You know graffiti, same root word.

What I wanted to try and figure out was, okay, in contemporary 21st century life the alienation between the self and the land around you or the self and even the urban landscape. You name it.

Brent had a love-hate relationship with the Government. He hated what it had become over the years and loved to make an issue about it.

Love is not a landmine but a sinkhole.

Winning Wimbledon, I can't get my head around that. I still can't believe it's happened.

You can't understand light unless you understand darkness, because that's where life is most often lived - somewhere between the two. It's messy and it's beautiful all at the same time.

I will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me.

The reason why things work is because of love.

The breath of the mind is attention.

Timing the market is a fools game, whereas time in the market is your greatest natural advantage.

I guess I've learned more from the Clearwater than anything else. All I did was help to plant a seed, and I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

For me, playing music is like meditating - I just play and don't really think about what I'm doing, I just let it happen.
